That means: Monitoring when and where you drive, how far and fast, etc Remotely disabling features, or the vehicle itself Remotely repossessing the vehicle Accessing sensors like cameras to see around and possibly inside the car It also means anyone who can figure it out also has a connection to your car on demand, and has the same powers. Don’t cheer for OTA updates.

minus-squarevoracitude@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoYep, unless you disable the radios. It can be a real bastard to find those. But OTA isn’t possible without the radios, therefore OTA is part of the problem.

They don’t sell the data Edit: the dude linked an article about GM as evidence lol. Tesla is terrible with data, but selling is not one of their many sins: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/tesla/
